I saw them at a small festival in Austria. First they performed as "The Chris Stout Quintett", and the next day just the two walked up and played as McKay & Stout. It just blew me away, I actually walked to the merchandise store and bought their cd before they had finished. Chris Stout plays the fiddle superbly (shifting to AEAE tuning for one set according to the liner notes) and Catriona McKay plays the harp so energeticly and great, shifting between melody and backing, it was a pleasure to watch her enjoying the tunes.

These are two different tunes, the first is a jig and the second a reel. I will try to sort out which as soon as possible.
